So beautifully serene. How lucky you are to have this scene local to you. Have you also taken sunset color photos? The diagonal line leads my eye right into the frame and then I see the moon. The soft, smooth texture of the water you achieved with your long exposure is perfect. The composition is great. I like the space you left and the horizon is not centered in the frame. I wouldn't change a thing.   Posted: 04/04/2026 20:08:02

Ger, such a gorgeous and, as Cindy said, serene setting. I find the hues in the colour version very "yummy" and impactful but the monochrome works well for other reasons, I think: the well balanced composition with the post leading our eye towards the horizon, and the moon. The colour version is a beautiful landscape but the BW is a work of art. And just the correct length of exposure to smooth the water in my view. Lovely!   Posted: 04/04/2026 23:30:18

Ger, hello, this is great contemplative scene, well captured and converted to B&W. I tried a tighter crop and a gradient in the sky to make the moon more prominent. Well seen, well captured!   Posted: 04/10/2026 01:52:55
